I doubt it there are any to be found in a wrecking yard. I would probably have one made.

I pulled the part number from my original factory ford skid plate (8C3Z7E063A) and it appears to still be a stocked part.

I bow before the awe and might of your skid plate!
I guess it beats a skid mark...

Hasteranger's factory skid plate is different from the factory one I took off
This one goes from frame rail to frame rail under the t-case. The truck is a 2005 V10.

maybe .. .. it is the passat w8 and the transmission and oil pan/sumps ( it has a dry sump system) is only protected by a flimsy piece of plastic so it you hit anything it will just hit the plastic which aint stopping it from hitting the oil and trans pans .. so i had an aluminum one made 
I guess it beats a skid mark...
